Chapter 147 Opportunities to Make Money After Stabilization

Jiang Yutang's gaze naturally fell on Cheng Lanzhou's slender fingers, and she belatedly blinked.

Cheng Lanzhou awkwardly withdrew his hand, coughed lightly in front of his mouth, and then slowly began to explain.

“That day when I returned to the camp to report, my elder sister came to see me. I told her that I did not intend to divorce you. She was very opposed to it and argued with me for a long time.”

"Unfortunately, Jiang Huaiyu happened to be passing by and overheard our conversation. He already had a grudge against you before... so he immediately rushed over to object. But my elder sister got angry, and the two of them argued more and more fiercely, eventually leading to the situation we have now."

Jiang Yutang looked enlightened, then lowered his head in thought.

Cheng Daier already had a prejudice against her, so her advice to Cheng Lanzhou was probably not very pleasant. However, Jiang Huaiyu, being straightforward, happened to cross her, and the two of them probably misunderstood each other again, which is why they argued so fiercely.

She looked up toward her own tent, where a warm yellow light was still shining.

Jiang Yutang hesitated for a moment, then tentatively asked, "Do you... know if your aunt has someone she likes?"

Cheng Lanzhou looked at her, puzzled, then seemed to remember something.

"A while ago, my eldest sister suddenly started doing needlework and sewed a purse for me. I don't remember her ever doing these things before. One day I noticed that she actually sewed two. Could the other one be...?"

“I gave the other one to my third brother,” Jiang Yutang replied with a wry smile.

Cheng Lanzhou frowned instantly and remained silent for a long time.

He naturally understood what it meant for a young woman to make a purse by hand and give it to someone, but no matter how much he planned, he never expected it to be Jiang Huaiyu.

Seeing his speechless expression, Jiang Yutang burst out laughing.

"There's no logic to matters of the heart; don't force it, just let things take their natural course."

She glanced at the sky: "It's getting late, let's go back."

"Mmm." Cheng Lanzhou responded softly, steadied her arm again, and carefully accompanied her towards the tent.

The moonlight shone on the two of them, casting their shadows together, creating a warm and tranquil scene.

Upon reaching the tent entrance, Cheng Lanzhou watched as she lifted the curtain and entered the tent before turning and walking towards the adjacent tent.

As soon as Jiang Yutang stepped into the tent, she saw Jiang Huaiyu standing guard at the door, glaring at her fiercely.

He lowered his voice and said, "You little rascal, didn't you two agree on this beforehand?"

"Hehe." Jiang Yutang grinned, revealing his front teeth. "What's wrong, Third Brother? Don't you like the Cheng family?"

"Pshaw, there'd be no way I'd like them," Jiang Huaiyu scoffed.

Jiang Yutang smacked her lips in disbelief and deliberately lowered her voice, saying, "I heard that your purse was made by your aunt and given to you by hand!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the once quiet tent suddenly became lively. Yun suddenly lifted the curtain and looked at the two of them in surprise.

"Tang'er, do you really mean what you're saying?"

Jiang Songzhi, who was sleeping on the upper bunk, also peeked out, suppressing a laugh, and shook his head at Jiang Huaiyu: "You little rascal, you've been hiding it well."

Everyone chimed in, making Jiang Huaiyu blush like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and she hurriedly waved her hands.

"What purse! I don't know! Don't listen to my little sister's nonsense!" After saying that, he turned around and walked towards his bed, even his back showed a bit of panic.

Jiang Yutang couldn't help but laugh when she saw him pretending nothing had happened.

"Third Brother, did you really throw away that sachet? I heard from Lanzhou that Auntie rubbed her hands raw while sewing that sachet."

With her back to everyone, Jiang Huaiyu mumbled something like, "Who asked her to be so stubborn and insist on doing it?"

Jiang Yutang covered her mouth to suppress a laugh, turned to look at her family gathered around her, and waved her hand helplessly.

The next morning, Jiang Yutang got ready and called out to Jiang Huaiyu, asking him to carry her to the clinic.

Jiang Songzhi was tidying up the books on the table and replied without looking up, "He went out before dawn."

"You've gone out?" Jiang Yutang pouted, picked up her cane, and walked out of the tent.

As soon as she lifted the curtain, she turned around and called out, "Fourth Brother, hurry up!" Turning around, she saw Cheng Lanzhou standing at the tent entrance, his blue casual clothes making his figure appear even more upright. She wondered how long he had been waiting there.

Jiang Yutang was stunned for a moment, then her eyes crinkled into a bright smile: "So early?"

Cheng Lanzhou nodded, her gaze falling on her leg, which was still in a splint, and asked naturally, "Are you going to the clinic?"

"yes."

Just as she finished speaking, she saw Cheng Lanzhou say earnestly, "I'll carry you there."

Her cheeks flushed instantly, and she quickly waved her hands, "No need, no need, I'll have my fourth brother carry me, he'll be out soon."

Cheng Lanzhou frowned slightly, her tone unusually hesitant: "We are husband and wife, so don't stand on ceremony with me."

Jiang Yutang's heart skipped a beat, and after thinking about it, she agreed, and stammered, "Then...then let's carry it on our backs. There are too many familiar faces here, and carrying it will attract too much attention."

"Mm." Cheng Lanzhou smiled and squatted down in front of her without saying a word.

Jiang Yutang, like a docile kitten, gently lay on his back, her arms naturally encircling his neck, her cheek pressed against his warm back, and she could clearly feel his steady and powerful heartbeat.

Cheng Lanzhou steadily supported her knees with both hands, and also picked up her crutches from the ground. Before Jiang Sumin could come out from behind, he stepped forward.

Not far from where they had walked, Jiang Yutang glanced back and saw Jiang Sumin following behind them with a gloomy face and an unhappy expression, keeping a distance that was neither too close nor too far.

She couldn't help but let out a silent smile, gently burying her head in Cheng Lanzhou's shoulder, her heart as sweet as honey.

When we arrived at the clinic, Dr. Xu was drying medicinal herbs in the courtyard with a beaming smile, wielding the rake with exceptional ease.

When she saw Cheng Lanzhou step into the courtyard, she was taken aback at first. But when she saw Jiang Yutang on his back, she hurriedly put down what she was doing and rushed over to greet him: "General Cheng, Miss Jiang, you've arrived."

Cheng Lanzhou carefully put Jiang Yutang down: "Be careful of your legs."

Jiang Yutang chuckled and shyly introduced him to Doctor Xu: "Doctor Xu, this is my husband, Cheng Lanzhou."

Cheng Lanzhou nodded slightly to Doctor Xu, speaking humbly: "I trouble Doctor Xu to take good care of my wife."

Dr. Xu's cheeks flushed slightly, and he nodded awkwardly, quickly stepping aside to let them into the house.

The steam rising from the freshly brewed hot tea cup blurred the morning light by the window.

Jiang Yutang held the warm teacup, looked up at Cheng Lanzhou beside her, and casually asked, "Do you have other things to do today?"

Cheng Lanzhou took the tea offered by Doctor Xu and nodded in response, "Yes, I need to go to the Northern Garrison Commander's place."

"The Northern Garrison Commander?" Jiang Yutang took a sip of hot tea, his eyes narrowing slightly. "My second brother also serves under the Northern Garrison Commander. Are you there on official business?"

"I guess so."

Cheng Lanzhou put down his teacup and explained in a calm tone, "Your second brother proposed to the higher-ups that we expand agriculture, hoping to develop planting on the wasteland around the camp and improve the livelihood of the people in this area. This trip was to survey the terrain of the wasteland with the Northern Garrison Commander and finalize the preliminary plan."

"Expand agriculture?" Upon hearing this, Jiang Yutang's eyes lit up instantly, and she looked at him expectantly.
